Ursa Major la Danger.

While Prof Proctor was at Lake Weir
lately he was invited to u drive by
young English settler. II was n bright
starlight night. To prepare for emer-
gencies the young man took rife with
him. On the drive the young man did
his best to entertain his distinguished
guest in his own way, until, during the
one sided conversation, he appealed Ia
Prof. Proctor for a corroboration OF some
statement. The scientist, arousing from
his reverie, begged pardon, observing
that the night was so clear and the stars
were SO bright that his whole attention
had been given To the Bear. "A bear
where, where" exclaimed the young
Englishman, eXcitedly. stopping the
vehicle and seizing his gun. The alarm
ed scientist ducked TO avoid the danger
of having his. head blown off and ex-
claimed that any attempt 10 blow Ursa
Major out of the heavens would be en-

his seat and muttered that he did not
know the Great Bear from any other LOT

New YORK Word

Yesterdays storm Of wind. rain and
sleet was one of the most destructive Of
the season. The center of the storm WAS
somewhere eastward of Jacksonville,
Fla, sweeping up the coast with great
fury. Wires were torn down In its de-
structive course, thus stopping commu-
nication between many points. Monday
evening the rain fell in torrents, continu-
ing until yesterday morning. when the
wind began 10 blow. The atmosphere
became chilly and the raindrops were
congealed into snow and sleet. The wind
blew from the northeast at the rate of
thirty miles an hour. The Western
Unions telegraph wires suffered Sc
verely, and for "a long time only one wire
WAS in operation between New York
and Philadelphia. In New Jersey the
sieet froze upon the wires, and along
the Hudson high wind. accompanied
by heavy, damp snow, seriously inter
fered with the wires. Late i'm the day
communication was restored between
the chief points. The destructive effects
Of the storm were felt i'm Chicago, De
trolt, st. Louis. Cleveland and Louis
Vile. and for time no message could he
sent to any Of these cities. Along the
Jersey coast and in the lower bay the
storm caused great havoc. Vessels were
compelled To cast out additional anchor
chains to prevent them from being car
ried away. On the west shore Of the
bay the sea was the highest seen for
years. ~ Perth Amboy a strong north
east gale ragged all day. The tide was
very high, and for a time the docks of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
were entirely under water. The schoon-

Neck. She Is not seriously damaged and

New YORK, March 25.-R. q. Dunn &
Co. s weekly review says;
April is close at hand. and some
anxiety as to the money market is usual
at this season. The banks here have
been sending large amount to the in
terror, and there has also been a heavy
demand for Philadelphia exchange, so
that further decline in reserves is ex-
pected. The Western and Southern de
mand for money has been caused by the
desire to ship products before the Inter
State Act and change of rates go into
effect. Though the demand at Chicago
is reported diminishing, the rates are 8
to 8 per cent. All circumstances
make it comparatively easy for
the operator TO produce tight
ness in money if he pleases.
The Interstate Bill causes great ac-
tivity in shipments of merchandise to
anticipate the change of rates, April ).
but this means dullness after that date.
and complaints of industrial and COM
mercial inactivity, respecting business
that depends on future rates, grow more
numerous. The coal men are awaiting
the proposed new rates for transporta-
ton. The dry goods merchants protest
earnestly against the charge of higher
rates for goods in box than in bale. The
selection of Commissioners is thought to
foreshadow a strong effort to adjust
rates according to distance. General
Fink thinks the law will tend to the
crushing of the small by the larger deal
ers, and Mr.. Adams thinks it hastens the
swallowing of the weaker by the
stronger roads. Months of uncertainty
must elapse before the effects of the act
can be understood.
Railroad business has been large. The
temporary activity of March does not in
dictate a large business after the change
of rates, however, nor is the building of
SIG miles of road against 296 to date last
year, a safe indication as to the future.
Reports regarding the grain business are
not favorable, imports evidently having
q depressing effect. British shipments
of iron and steel to this country were
III, ,453 tons in February and "a, ISL tons
in January Prices of kinds largely inn
ported show weakness.
Products have reacted little. Wool
is lower, the demand for goods being
slack. Wheat, corn and oats are lower.
Cotton has advanced / and coffee cent,
and beef is stronger, but the prevailing
uncertainty affects most branches Of
business unfavorably, excepting as
transactions are fastened to make ship
ments by rail before change of rates and
expiration Of contracts.
